Chikkodi: In an unfortunate incident, a soldier from Chikkodi lost his life in a collision between two war tankers at Surathgarh in Rajasthan.

The deceased is Basavaraju Gurusidda Upase (30) from Karoshi village of Chikkodi. It is said that a tanker rammed into another tanker, which was under repair, claiming life of Upase, who had served the army over the last 13 years. He was married only three-years-ago and was planning to retire from service in next three years.

His older sibling Vinayak Upase too is in the army and is posted in Kashmir. Mortal remains of Upase will reach his native village on Wednesday where his last rites will be performed with state honour.
